Speculation on a McCain cabinet
Edited on Mon Feb-18-08 11:08 AM by DesertRat
Some common guesses envision well-known McCain allies and even past rivals in key positions:

• Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., in a prominent job, possibly even secretary of State.


• Former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., as attorney general.


• Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani as Homeland Security secretary.


• Former Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas as Treasury secretary.


• Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee as Health and Human Services secretary.

10. Charles Keating as Treasury Secretary. Yeah, I know he's dead, but Bush III doesn't--witness:


I think Mr. Keating is speaking to him right from the, er, um, heart, shall we call it? :evilgrin:

11. I think Keating is still alive
He would be perfect for Bush III's Treasury Secretary.
